The original Hwy 25 Coalition formed in
2017 established a collaboration to benefit
the region
o Developed commitment among policymakers
o Created an understanding of:
Transportation issues affecting the region
Importance of the connection and opportunity
represented by TH25, Usso, 1-94, River, and rail line
Yielded clear, usable data on traffic and service
level, and recommendation for a second river
crossing to support long-term needs
Further discussion of a river crossing
revealed that transportation factors alone
cannot drive a bridge location
o Transportation supports land use and
development goals
The required Federal environmental process is
time-consuming, expensive, and includes all
location options -- and does not consider social,
land use, and economic factors
However, these factors are critical to
accomplishing community goals
With guidance from FHWA and MnDOT,
the group committed to creating a shared
regional vision and goals --and then
determining what's necessary to
accomplish them
o This led to plans to explore a broader range of
issues in more depth
May: Hired consultant/facilitator with multi -
jurisdictional process experience to provide
support, guidance to group (Anne Carroll)
o July: Adopted a new name, Central Mississippi
River Regional Planning Partnership (CMRP) and
launched a new website:
https://regio�nalplanningpartnership.org/
July/Aug: Prepared RFP for consultant to
work with Partnership members to develop
regional planning framework for:
o Economic development and growth
o Land use
o Environment and recreation
o Infrastructure, and other critical topics
Partnership issued RFP c. Aug g, with
launch by end of September
This highly collaborative project will run
through early 2021

Essential for Partnership/members to
"own" planning project from start to finish
The process, intermediate guidance and
recommendations, and final results must reflect
Partnership member priorities
Requires elected bodies to be actively engaged
throughout the planning project
Staff will be intensively involved
Other organizations + community stakeholders
throughout region will be engaged by planning
consultant
Partnership recommendation: Elected
bodies formally engage and drive results
throughout planning project
Specifically, the Partnership seeks support
for scheduled sessions with your
Partnership rep and staff to:
Provide a formal project update, such as:
Work to date
Issues, challenges, opportunities
Interim results
o Gather input, feedback, guidance to shape
planning project moving forward
Elected body votes on a resolution of
concurrence indicating overall satisfaction with
the work to date and the body's role in helping
shape the process and content
Caveats and clarifications
Nothing in such a resolution binds the elected
body to any specific future actions or decisions
o Presentations will be made to all elected bodies:
At approximately the same time
Addressing the same topics/issues
Tailored as appropriate to each body
Should an elected body not be satisfied, the
Partnership will work directly with that body to
resolve issues and concerns
Discussion: Questions, thoughts?
Request for action by elected body:
Agree to regularly schedule formal updates on
the planning project by Partner rep and staff, and
provide guidance to help drive results
o Agree that after each formal update/
engagement, will take action on a resolution of
concurrence and follow up as required
